Design för ett hållbart samhälle : En undersökning om hållbar design samt dess drivkrafter och hinder

Thorstensson, Lisa January 2012 (has links)
Sustainable design - a study on sustainable design and its incentives and barriers The purpose of this study was to investigate the incentives and barriers existing within companies focusing on eco-design. The aim was also to examine the consumers’ thoughts on eco-design and sustainable products. A further aim was to try to concretize important lessons for future work on sustainable production and consumption. Two methods were used for completing this study; a literature study and a practical study consisting of interviews with companies focusing on eco-design and a survey among students. The result shows that durable goods over the last decades have had a varied revenue growth, showing an increasing trend over recent years. The result also shows a slightly increasing trend on sustainable consumption and production. The main incentives presented in the result were based on some form of recognition of the unsustainable attitude in our society. Among existing barriers the most prominent was associated to economic issues, ignorance and material problems. The result of the survey showed that consumers ranked factors related to eco-design among those who are least considered. For the work towards a sustainable future, people with a similar attitude as the ones involved in the interviewed companies are of great importance. There also seems to be a need for altered market conditions, but this would require a dramatic behavioral change.

Consumo popular, fluxos globais: práticas, articulações e artefatos na interface entre a riqueza e a pobreza / Popular consumption, global flows: habits, joints and artefacts on the interface between wealth and poverty

Claudia D'Ipolitto de Oliveira Sciré 21 September 2009 (has links)
O presente trabalho propõe um estudo sobre as práticas de consumo dos moradores de uma região situada na periferia paulistana e busca compreender os impactos sociais que o acesso aos espaços e bens de consumo gera nos modos de vida do mundo popular. Partindo de um exercício etnográfico multi-situado, pretende-se mostrar o quanto o advento da financeirização, a partir da proliferação dos mecanismos de concessão de crédito, acarreta efeitos reestruturadores em suas práticas cotidianas, no gerenciamento do orçamento doméstico, nas hierarquias familiares, nas relações de sociabilidade e nos modos de subjetivação, engendrando reconfigurações substantivas no universo popular. / This work intents to be a study about the consumption habits of the habitants of a slum area in São Paulo and tries to comprehend the social effects generated in their lives by the access to the consumptions places and goods. The aim is to show, within a multi-sited ethnographic exercise, that the financial operations, through the diffusion of credit concession mechanisms, engender particular effects that restructure the daily habits, the domestic budget, the familiar hierarchies, the relations of sociability and the subjective manners.

[en] WINE CONSUMPTION HABITS: A RESEARCH ABOUT OCCASIONS, PLACES, MOTIVATIONS AND FREQUENCY / [pt] HÁBITOS DE CONSUMO DE VINHO: UMA PESQUISA SOBRE OCASIÕES, LOCAIS, MOTIVAÇÕES E FREQÜÊNCIA

MARCIO PEZZELLA FERREIRA 09 May 2007 (has links)
[pt] O Brasil é hoje um mercado potencial para os vinhos da América Latina. Ao contrário de tradicionais produtores como França, Itália, Argentina e Chile, onde a tendência de consumo da bebida é de queda, no Brasil há significativo potencial de crescimento. O consumo anual per capita de vinho no Brasil é de aproximadamente 2 litros per capta ao ano, enquanto em outros países da Europa esse consumo pode alcançar a casa das dezenas de litros. Este trabalho tem como objetivo explorar os fatores motivadores e/ou inibidores do consumo do vinho no Brasil, em especial no Rio de Janeiro. Tem como base a experiência do consumo nas ocasiões em que o pesquisado pode exercer seu poder de escolha na compra dos vinhos a serem consumidos. Essa abordagem visa identificar e compreender hábitos capazes de influenciar na escolha e consumo de vinhos, procurando identificar ocasiões, locais, motivações e freqüência de seu consumo. A pesquisa visa também conhecer associações feitas com o vinho, conhecendo as principais variáveis que influenciam no seu consumo, identificando ainda locais habituais de compra e fontes de informação relacionadas a esta bebida. / [en] Nowadays Brazil is a potential market to Latin American wines. Different from traditional producers like France, Italy, Argentina and Chile, where the wine consumption is decreasing, in Brazil exists a significant potential of growth. The annual Brazilian wine consumption per capita is approximately 2 liters. In some European countries this consumption can be up to thirty times higher. The objective of this work is to explore the factors that can motivate or inhibit the wine consumption in Brazil, especially in Rio de Janeiro. It is based on occasions that the consumer can chose the wine that will be tasted. This approach intends to identify and better understand the habits that can influence the wine selection, trying to map consumption occasions, places, motivations and frequency. This research also intends to better understand mental links about wine and identify common purchasing places and information sources used by consumers.

Asociación entre el hábito de fumar y frecuencia de consumo de frutas y verduras en estudiantes de una universidad privada de Lima

Pérez Albela Rodríguez, Marcela, Vásquez Pereira, Maria Paz, Acevedo Azuero, Soren Fabricius, Málaga Chávez, Renzo Mauricio 20 August 2020 (has links)
Introducción: Las enfermedades crónicas se desarrollan por un conjunto de factores de riesgo que en muchos de los casos se pueden prevenir. Entre estos factores destacan el consumo de tabaco y la baja ingesta de frutas y verduras. Métodos: Estudio transversal analítico realizado en una universidad privada de Lima, 2018. La población estudiada comprendió universitarios de 18 a 26 años. Resultados: Se encuestaron 233 estudiantes, de los cuales solo 215 cumplían con las características de la población de interés, 101 (47%) mujeres y 114 (53%) hombres. La media de edad de los encuestados fue de 21.37 años. En los encuestados el 19 % (n=41) nunca ha consumido tabaco, el 16% (n=35) no consumió en el último mes, el 38 % (n=81) son fumadores ocasionales y 27% (n=58) son fumadores diarios. Los estudiantes encuestados que tienen un consumo adecuado de frutas y verduras representan el 7.44% (n=16). Se encontró una asociación entre fumar y el consumo de frutas y verduras (valor p=0,0001), y, al observar la media de consumo de porciones de frutas y verduras por día para cada categoría de hábito de fumar, se vio que, a mayor consumo de tabaco, menor consumo de frutas y verduras. Conclusión: Se encontró una relación entre el hábito de fumar y el consumo de frutas y verduras, pero es importante evidenciar los altos porcentajes de los factores de riesgo de consumo de tabaco y baja ingesta de frutas y verduras en la población estudiada. / Introduction: Chronic diseases are developed by a set of risk factors that in many cases can be prevented. These factors include tobacco consumption and low intake of fruits and vegetables. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study carried out at a private university in Lima, during the first academic semester in 2018. The population studied comprised universitity students from 18 to 26 years old. Results: 233 students were surveyed, of whom only 215 met the characteristics of the population of interest, 101 (47%) women and 114 (53%) men. The mean age of the respondents was 21.37 years. In the respondents, 19% (n = 41) had never used tobacco, 16% (n = 35) had not used in the last month, 38% (n = 81) were occasional smokers and 27% (n = 58) they are daily smokers. The surveyed students who have an adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables represent 7.44% (n = 16). An association was found between smoking and the consumption of fruits and vegetables (p value = 0.0001), and, when observing the average consumption of portions of fruits and vegetables per day for each category of smoking, it was evidenced that, the higher the consumption of tobacco, the lower the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Conclusion: In our study, a relationship was found between smoking and the consumption of fruits and vegetables, but it is important to note the high percentages of risk factors for tobacco use and low intake of fruits and vegetables in the study population. / Trabajo de investigación

Modulation des effets de la caféine sur le sommeil en fonction de l’âge et des habitudes de consommation

Lupien, Frédéric 04 1900 (has links)
La littérature scientifique démontre clairement que la caféine altère la qualité du sommeil, mais des études avancent qu’une tolérance à la caféine peut être développée avec le temps. Par ailleurs, le sommeil change graduellement au cours du vieillissement, et il semble devenir plus sensible aux pressions externes et internes. Nous avons donc choisi de comparer les effets de 200 mg de caféine consommés en soirée, comparativement à un placébo, sur le sommeil de sujets jeunes et d’âge moyen, en fonction de leurs habitudes de consommation de caféine. Le groupe d’âge moyen a manifesté en condition caféine plus d’éveils nocturnes dans le dernier tiers de la nuit que le groupe de jeunes. De plus, la caféine a réduit la durée totale de sommeil et l’efficacité de sommeil de façon plus significative chez les consommateurs légers que chez les consommateurs modérés de caféine. Toutefois, une corrélation a été constatée entre ces derniers résultats et la concentration salivaire de caféine des sujets de chaque groupe, ce qui pourrait expliquer les différences d’effets constatées. D’autre part, la caféine a augmenté la latence au sommeil, le pourcentage de stade 1 et les éveils nocturnes pour tous les groupes, tout en réduisant l’efficacité de sommeil et la durée totale de sommeil. Aucune interaction significative ne fut constatée entre l’âge, les habitudes de consommation et les effets de la caféine sur le sommeil. Nous croyons donc que la caféine, conjointement aux habitudes de consommation chez les consommateurs modérés réguliers, mène à une tolérance partielle aux effets de cette substance, et que le sommeil, particulièrement vers la fin de la nuit, est plus vulnérable aux pressions chez les individus d’âge moyen. / Scientific literature clearly shows that caffeine impairs the quality of sleep, but studies suggest that tolerance to caffeine may be developed with time. In addition, sleep gradually changes during aging, and it seems to become more sensitive to external and internal challenges. We have therefore chosen to compare the effects of 200 mg of caffeine consumed in the evening, compared to a placebo, on sleep in young and middle-aged subjects, in relation to their caffeine consumption habits. Compared to the placebo condition, caffeine increased the duration of wakefulness in the last third of the night for middle-aged subjects only. Furthermore, caffeine also decreased total sleep time and sleep efficiency more significantly in light consumers than in moderate consumers, although a correlation between these results and salivary concentration differences was found, which might explain the differences in the effects noted. On the other hand, caffeine increased sleep latency, the percentage of time spent in stage 1 and wake after sleep onset for all groups, while reducing sleep efficiency and total sleep duration. No significant interaction was found between age, consumption habits and the effects of caffeine on sleep. We thus believe that the combination of consumption habits and caffeine leads to a partial tolerance to caffeine effects for moderate regular consumers, and that sleep, particularly towards the end of the night, is more vulnerable to challenges in middle-aged individuals.

O mercado de carne ovina no Rio Grande do Sul sob a ótica de diversos agentes

De Bortoli, Elísio de Camargo January 2008 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar os consumidores de carne ovina, buscando elementos de maior identificação do perfil do consumidor e seu nível de informação; dos hábitos de compra e consumo do produto e as opiniões sobre parâmetros de qualidade e conformidade da carne ovina, bem como compreender o contexto do mercado atual da ovinocultura de corte. O estudo foi desenvolvido em duas etapas: 1) Entrevistas com experts da cadeia produtiva da carne ovina incluindo agentes da produção à comercialização e 2) Pesquisa de mercado com consumidores da cidade de Porto Alegre utilizando amostragem aleatória simples. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi composto por um protocolo de entrevista semi-estruturado e um questionário estruturado. Na etapa exploratória foi possível agrupar as respostas em cinco tópicos: caracterização da cadeia produtiva da ovinocultura do Rio Grande do Sul, mercado e comercialização, perfil do consumidor e percepções do produto, marketing e diferenciação e, perspectivas futuras. Os resultados da pesquisa de mercado foram subdivididos em: perfil dos entrevistados, caracterização dos hábitos alimentares, informações a respeito da carne ovina e, associação entre algumas dessas variáveis. Os dados obtidos na etapa exploratória revelaram a opinião dos experts quanto à atual situação da ovinocultura no Estado, além da necessidade de maior coordenação e fluxo de informações entre os agentes desta cadeia produtiva. A pesquisa de mercado revelou a importância dos supermercados e açougues como locais de compra, a baixa freqüência de consumo quando comparada à outras carnes, os preços elevados e o excesso de gordura como principais dificuldades de compra e escolha do produto, além da falta de diferenciação e padronização dos cortes. A aparência e o registro de inspeção foram os atributos mais valorizados pelos consumidores. O gosto característico e o aumento no consumo com o aumento na oferta foram as informações com maior grau de concordância. Já a associação entre variáveis mostrou tendência de aumento no consumo com o aumento da renda e do nível de instrução dos entrevistados. Ficou evidenciado que as ações produtivas precisam estar ajustadas aos hábitos de compra e consumo de carne ovina. / The objective of this study is to characterize the sheepmeat consumers, seeking for elements of greater identification of the consumer’s profile and his information level, his purchase habits and product consumption, the opinions about parameters of quality and sheepmeat conformity, as well as to understand the context of the current market. The study has been developed in two stages: 1) Interviews with experts of the sheepmeat productive chain, including agents from production to marketing and 2) Market research with consumers of Porto Alegre city, using simple random sampling. The instrument of data collect was composed through a semi-structured interview protocol and a structured questionnaire. At the exploratory stage it was possible to group the answers in five topics: characterization of the sheepmeat productive chain of Rio Grande do Sul, market and marketing, consumer’s profile and product perception, marketing and differentiation and, future prospects. The results of the market research were subdivided in: profile of the interviewees, eating habits characterization, information regarding sheepmeat and, association among some of these variables. The data collected in the exploratory stage showed the opinion of the experts concerning the current situation of the sheepmeat in the state, besides the necessity of greater coordination and information flow among the agents of this productive chain. The market research showed the importance of the supermarkets and butchers as purchase places, the low consumption frequency when compared to other meet, high prices and the fat excess as the main difficulties of the product purchase and choice, besides the lack of differentiation and pattern of the cut. The appearance and inspection were the most valued attributes by the consumers. The characteristic taste and the increase in the consumption with the increase in the supply were the information of greater degree of agreement. But the association between variables showed tendency towards the increase in the consumption with the increase of income and towards the instruction level of the interviewees.

Plan de negocio: Cadena de Juguería al paso (formato de barra) / Chain of Juice bar in passing

Espinoza Rodas, Santa Patricia 22 August 2021 (has links)
El presente plan de negocios tiene como finalidad determinar la viabilidad de una cadena de juguerías al paso en tres puntos de alto tránsito de la ciudad. Estos tres puntos de venta son cercanos a las estaciones del metropolitano : Estación Central, Canaval y Moreyra y Angamos. Los objetivos de esta jugería son remarcar los beneficios reconocidos de los jugos naturales y poner a disposición de los clientes productos saludables y de calidad de manera rápida. Los clientes se muestran cada vez más interesados por una alimentación saludable ; sin embargo, no siempre disponen del tiempo necesario para preparar sus alimentos. El Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (2014) nos ha mostrado que la población de Lima Metropolitana tiende a comer fuera de casa. Datum (2017) ha revelado que una parte de la población entiende que para tener una vida saludable se debe comer sano. Y, Kantar Worldpanel (2019) señaló que los peruanos reconocemos que comer frutas y verdura es una característica muy importante para disfrutar una alimentación saludable. El proyecto, de acuerdo a la evaluación económica y financiera, tendrá un VAN económico de S/. 188,397.03 y una TIR económica de 87%, con lo que se puede concluir que el negocio es viable. / The purpose of this business plan is to determine the feasibility of a chain of juice bar in passing at three of the most transited points of the city. These three points of sales are near to the metro stations: Estación Central, Carnaval y Moreira and Angamos. The main objectives of this juice bar are to emphasize the benefits of natural juices and to provide to its customers healthy and quality products in short time. Clients seems to be more and more interested in healthy food habits, however, for some reasons, they do not have the time to prepare their meals. The National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (2014) has shown that the population of the city of Lima tends to eat out. Datum (2017) has revealed that there is a part of the population that understands that having a healthy life, a healthy diet is a must. And, Kantar Worldpanel (2019) pointed out that Peruvians recognize eating fruits and vegetables as a key elements of a healthy diet. According to the economic and financial evaluation, the project will have a Economic NPV of S/. 188,397.03 and an economic IRR of 87 %. Therefore, it can be concluded that the business is viable. / Trabajo de investigación
